Abstract

The lighting system (100) of the present invention includes at least one light string (130n) having a plurality of independently controllable light modules (140n), each emitting light in response to an activation signal uniquely associated with the light module. The lighting system (100) preferably includes a controller (110) coupled to the light strings for generating and transmitting activation signals to the light modules to independently control the lights of the light modules. Each of the light modules may include a multi-color lighting device (32,34,36) for emitting light of different colors such that the controller may select colors of the light emitted from each one of the light modules. The lighting system may also include a plurality of address modules (120n) each associated with and coupled to one of the light strings and coupled to the controller so that the controller may transmit activation signals to the light modules of a specific light string by transmitting an address to which the associated address module will respond by enabling the light modules of the associated light string to respond to the activation signals transmitted with the address signal from the controller.
